Rhode Island Quick Facts
Rhode Island – The Ocean State
Rhode Island is the smallest of the 50 U.S. states in size. The state’s official name is “The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations,” which can be traced back to its charter from King Charles II of England.
The state’s first permanent European settlement was in 1636 on the site of today’s Providence, and called Providence Plantations. It was set up by an English clergyman and a group of followers who left the Massachusetts Bay Colony seeking religious freedom. Others followed and founded the towns of Portsmouth, Newport and Warwick over the next half dozen years.
The four colonies banded together and eventually received the royal charter in 1663 for the “Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.” Just over 100 years later, on May 4, 1776, Rhode Island officially ended its relationship with England.

1. Refinancing or taking out a home equity loan or line of credit may increase the total number of monthly payments and/or the total amount paid when compared to your current situation.
2. Affects pricing. With the No Closing Cost Refi Option, borrowers finance the closing costs instead of paying for them at closing. Borrowers who pay closing costs at closing may qualify for a lower interest rate. Some upfront fees (ex. credit report and appraisal) may apply and may be credited at closing. Call for details.
3. The relative benefits of a consolidation loan may vary over time and will depend on individual circumstances. The longer the property and loan at a new lower rate and term is kept, the more interest savings can be realized when compared to your current situation. The repayment period of a mortgage loan can generally be shortened when additional funds above scheduled monthly mortgage payments are consistently paid and applied to reduce the loan balance.
